Who had the "Baddest" car in Selma? This has been an on-going debate for decades. Lets keep it rolling (pun intended). Tough to say who had THE baddest car at the time. Back in the days when drag races (and fights) on Pittenger road were a common everyday occurence, it was fun standing in my yard along the road watching two locals go at it head-to-head, engines roaring, tires squeeling, cool burnouts with lots of smoke and marks on the hot tar covered road. It was exhilirating to see such a spectacle. In my opinion, the baddest cars in the seventies in Selma came from owners that lived on Pittenger road. Both Albert Hughes '68 Chevelle SS 396 and Dick Myers GTO  ('65?) were two of the baddest cars around. The Sewell Brothers were some of the top dogs in the sixties, then switched to motorcycles. And on the other end of Pittenger Road, north of  highway 32, was Jeff Kirkpatrick who was constantly building different cars for speed. There were other cars from Selma during that era, some that were equally as bad.  And there were even some from other areas of Delaware County but those don't really count. I challenge anyone to run over my memories as best you can. We can settle it all here or on Pittenger Road...
